The day started relatively early with a BBQ lunch at Cindy’s house, some swimming, and a game of charades (of course, Tom just rocked!).


Here we all are at some park near Cindy’s house, waiting for it to get dark and for the fireworks show to commence!


There was much pre-show playing and snacking. As you can see here, the kids had fun with their glow-in-the-dark bracelets…Dylan included! He even used his to illuminate his cup of Teddy Puffs!

Dylan is just adored by all (in this picture, he’s with my cousin’s eldest daughter Zoe), so of course he wanted to stay awake!

You can only imagine how tired little Dylan must have been by the time the fireworks began!



finally sacked out!

He managed to stay awake for the first 10 minutes of the show — he loved it, by the way. The show began with a few teasers set off a few minutes apart from one another, and when Dylan saw the lights in the sky, he just started squeaking and clapping his little hands! But, despite his valiant efforts to ward off sleep, he finally succumbed!

There are lots of good pictures to be seen, especially since Christina was the one behind the camera while Dylan kept my hands full! Ieanna posted a nice album, too.
